Introduction

For all too many, this book sounds to them like Duty-onomy. But how could that be, when Deuteronomy has been praised as the heartbeat and the most influential book of the Old Testament? If we add the testimony of Jesus, Paul, and the early church, Deuteronomy may well be the most significant book in the whole canon of Scripture. In fact, there are some 103 allusions or references to Deuteronomy in the Gospel of John alone. While it represents the climax of the five books of Moses, it is also a prophetic book; Moses was among the first and the greatest of Israels prophets.

Title

The English title for this book comes from the Greek translation of Deuteronomy 17:18, which speaks of the king having a copy of the law. The Greek Septuagint inaccurately rendered this verse as deuteronomion , meaning second law. However, this book is not a second law but a renewal of the covenant Moses made at Mount Sinai, which site is also called Mount Horeb.

Rather than giving a title for each book, the Hebrew Bible follows the ancient custom of naming a book by its opening line. In Hebrew, Deuteronomy starts with, these are the words; therefore it was simply called Debarim , The Words.

Structure

There are at least three different ways this book can be examined: (1) as the three great speeches of Moses, (2) as a text exhibiting the form of the vassal treaties of the great kings of the second millennium BC, or (3) as an expanded exposition on the Decalogue, the Ten Commandments.

Using the repeated rhetorical markers of These are the words (1:1), This is the law (4:44), and These are the terms (29:1), it is possible to detect the three key speeches/sermons of Moses, each with a distinct focus: learning from history (1:14:43), explaining the law of God (4:4428:68), and renewing the covenant (29:130:20).

The archaeological discovery of some fifty to sixty extrabiblical treaties of sovereign kings with their vassal kings from around 1400 BC has provided us with echoes of a similar structure for Deuteronomy. Especially significant have been the Hittite treaties from the second millennium BC, whose patterns are paralleled section for section in the same order as those in Deuteronomy.
